smoke

fuming

onlookers worry
'bout fumes on the highest floor
where incense sticks burn

draped in fog the moon
hiding behind a smoke-screen
or merely fuming

[apr 02.09.thurs]

burning at both ends
in her lips the cigarette
can you smoke grief out ..

    Smoke can put fear into the hearts at times.

    Great moon image. I hadn't thought of the moon fuming before.

    I particularly like the verse about the moon.

    The last line caught me up and made me smile. What do we see? What do we think we see?

    I especially like the one about the moon "hiding behind a smoke screen." Well done.

    I have height problems so I can relate .. I love the verse about the moon, as it does at time, looks like it's sitting in a smoke ring.

    A fuming moon. Funny how we count on it to always come back.

    I don't think you can smoke the grief away. However burning the cigarettes at both ends is more bad news.
    I like it, thank you.
